In the spirit of overlooked prospects I present to you Matt Rhule’s pride and joy — Eric Fields from Oklahoma.

How fields has gone overlooked, I am not sure as the 6’2” 190 lb athlete raked in 180 tackles in 10 games this past season. Also, 120 of them were solo stops.

That.

Is.

Ridiculous.

Oh, can we add that he is really fast? Which appears to be a Matt Rhule specialty.

Even better, is that he committed today to play for Nebraska.

Fields is a 3-star athlete and Nebraska was his only Power Five offer. He had offers from some non-power five schools like Arkansas State, New Mexico State and North Texas.

Help me welcome Eric Fields to Nebraska class of 2023!
